Chocolate-Orange Oat Squares

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This wonderfully easy cookie takes a few ingredients and transforms them into a confection that is a sweet lover's dream. I found the recipe for the squares several years ago and I use it whenever I need a treat that is portable and can withstand the crowding and jostling of a picnic hamper. The recipe has been around for a while, and, as near as I can tell, it first appeared in a Reiman Publication in 2002. The cookie is a bit like a carmelita, but while these rich and sweet bars disappear as quickly, they are much easier to make. Over time, I've made a change or two to the recipe. I thought the original version contained too much salt and needed something to cut through the richness of the chocolate. I reduced the salt by 1/2 teaspoon and added orange zest to the filling. I also cut back on the size of the squares I serve to family and friends. If you love a sweet treat, I know you'll enjoy these bars. You'll find they'll disappear as quickly as they're made. Here's the recipe.

These cookies sound wonderful and with sweetened condensed milk makes them even better. I've never seen this recipe but now that I have I will definitely try them next time I am in the mood for chocolate chip cookie. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
